captura de pantalla de un videojuego clásico de simulación de ciudades en perspectiva isométrica (probablemente SimCity 2000). En la parte superior se encuentra la barra de menús con las opciones "Archivo", "Velocidad", "Opciones", "Desastres", "Ventanas" y "Periódico". El menú desplegable de "Desastres" está abierto, mostrando opciones como Incendio, Inundación, Accidente aéreo, Tornado, Terremoto, Monstruo, Huracán y Centro de datos. El cursor del ratón está posicionado sobre la opción "Centro de datos".

Sounds about right... A fitting metaphor!

#DataCenter Caught Watering Its Lavish Lawn While Human Neighbors Are on Year-Long Water Restriction

"You better believe that they are watering their entire green with so many sprinklers that it's literally making a giant pond."

"When the #DenverCO board of Water Commissioners approved stage one #drought restrictions back in March, they did so facing some of the driest conditions in decades. According to the #USDrough Monitor, the watershed sourced for Denver’s water utility is experiencing a 'severe to exceptional drought,' while the Denver metropolitan area has been in a “severe drought.”

"As a result, residents and businesses have been asked to scale back. Denverites now have to limit watering their lawns to two days a week, chosen by address. And even on those days, customers are prohibited from watering between the hours of 10am and 6pm, Gadget Review reports.

"Yet as some 1.5 million customers honor the restrictions, one major customer is evidently refusing to close the tap: a brand new #AIDatacenter .

"In a now-viral video circulating on social media, an unidentified resident of Denver’s Elyria-Swansea neighborhood filmed the massive lawn of a data center being sprayed with copious amounts of water.

" 'You better believe that they are watering their entire green with so many sprinklers that it’s literally making a giant pond,' the woman says.

"The identity of the data center in question is unconfirmed, but it’s likely the new 18 megawatt facility owned by the cloud computing company #CoreSite. At around 170,000 square feet in size, the mammoth facility recently went live in #ElyriaSwansea, though not without sparking a wide-ranging debate around Denver’s zoning regulations.

"It isn’t known which tech companies are renting out space in CoreSite’s Denver facility, but elsewhere the company has proudly partnered with tech giants like #Amazon, #Google, and #Microsoft ."

How #Meta Uses A.I. #DataCenters to Avoid Billions in Federal #Taxes
It claims that its A.I. data centers are a giant experiment that could fail, according to four people with knowledge of the company’s operations.
It does this so it can tap into a #tax credit intended for research and experimentation. It’s an aggressive interpretation of the #taxbreak, which Meta embraced to claim billions of dollars in tax credits for #datacenter expansion.
